INGREDIENTS

  • 1 1/2 cup
  • 0 1/4 oz (20 halves)
  • 2 tbsp
  • 1 tsp
  • 2 large
  • 0 1/4 tsp
  • 0 1/2 cup

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oven to 350°F. Toast pecans on baking sheet for 7-8 minutes, cool and then chop. Set aside.
  2. Line two baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper; set aside.
  3. Combine coconut and pecans in a bowl. Add heavy cream and orange zest; toss to combine.
  4. In a large bowl of an electric mixer, beat egg whites on high until thick and frothy. While mixer is running, gradually add cream of tartar and sugar substitute, beating until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold in coconut mixture just until evenly combined.
  5. Drop slightly rounded teaspoonfuls, 1-inch apart, onto prepared sheets. Bake until lightly browned on top and golden on bottom, 10 to 12 minutes.
  6. Cool cookies on baking sheet 1 minute before transferring to wire racks to cool completely. Store in an airtight container.
